Dylan Fowler - 11 October 2024

This was something a bit different for us but at a great venue in Abergavenny - a beautiful old chapel we have been to once before for a gig. We have seen Dylan Fowler before but as part of Alaw with Oliver Dickson-Smith but this was a solo acoustic guitar gig exploring a range of musical traditions. The Welsh influence was of course strong including a couple of pieces based on harp music but there was also Bulgarian, Indian, American jazz, Scottish and Beatles influences. The concert was pretty much the whole of his new album 'Ebb and Flow' and with a surprising encore of 'Albatross'. I particularly enjoyed the second half and though most of the pieces were new to me they all had a quality of involvement which all good music brings. Dylan was looking a lot older (and iller) than when we last saw hime with Alaw but he is still producing exquisite music.
